Regulators in Europe, North America and elsewhere have high hopes for new technical standards to protect user privacy. Online advertisers have agreed to respect a "do not track" setting in Web browsers, while the EU's proposed Data Protection Regulation would allow the European Commission to set standards requiring companies to take account of "developments in technology and solutions for privacy by design and data protection by default."

Is this approach likely to be effective? How can efficient and enforceable standards and rules be set, without stifling online innovation? What lessons can be learnt from previous efforts such as the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P)?

Please join our panel of distinguished international speakers to discuss these key questions for the Internet economy of the next decade.
